Alternative hypothesis: bailouts are a temporary smoke screen for the pension and hedge funds, other financial institutions and the super rich to cash out, once they have liquidated their positions, the real crash happens.

Alternate hypothesis: The next year to 18 months of earnings reductions due to covid is not enough to justify a 30% drop in net present value of the market at large.

The the companies were accurately priced prior to COVID then that would be the case. If companies were in an overvalued bubble before COVID then that would not be the case.

Another alternative also is investors fleeing from emerging markets. With Fed's backing the US stock market is a better bet than some others as compared with moving to cash, bonds, Gold, etc.

My tinfoil hat hypothesis is that the drop in equity prices will be used as an excuse for bailing out pension funds.
